Halloween 2010

Our 2010 Halloween picture. It was a cold night, but we had another great Halloween. I kept thinking about last year being pregnant. I was so big, I walked like 2 houses with Liv and had to go back and sit down. And now a year later, I have a "nice witch" and a "grumpy strawberry" on my hands. That hat was so cute, but Ava preferred not.

This is Maci. She was born I think 5 weeks after Ava came. The kids starting coming around five, so we fed Bean outside.

The best part of the night was when Olivia said "my customers are coming"! She individually put most of the candy into separate bags for the kids. I can't describe to you how much my daughter loves to give. She is so passionate and sincere.

This is our neighbor, Braedon. He is adorable. Liv loves to mother hen him. His parents: Darren and Jessica sat with us. Darren was handing out Margarita's to everyone, although it was to cold so most people said no. Next year I am going to make hot apple cider for everyone.

This is our neighbor Monique. Her favorite time of year is Halloween. Every year she dresses up as something different. It's top secret. This year she was the Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland. Her costume and stage presence was right on. Liv just stared at her, I did too! Then she transforms back to herself and we talk at the bus stop! Wonder what she will be next year?

We welcome you to our blog. I am basically writing this and using this blog as a tool to communicate the unique moments and the "normal" everyday happenings of our family life. Already by the age of 3 1/2 the word family to Olivia is something that is tender to her heart and has made me validate even more the importance of family life. My hope is that this journal will be something in the years to come that our daughters can look back on and get a quick glimpse of what our life was like. Olivia is such a beautiful little person inside and out. We are humbled everyday by her innocence and thank God for giving us such a well spirited child. Her enthusiasm and zest for life is contagious. Ava came into our lives November of 2009; we can't imagine what our lives would of looked like without her in it. She is such a small and delicate little flower. We love her giggles and belly laughs. But most of all Brad and I love seeing Olivia and Ava as "sisters". I am glad that you can take part in this journey as well, as we try and capture their special moments on camera!
